-----------
We are happy to invite you to the presentation of the results of the first time running 5-day intensive workshop in Modular Collaboration. The six participants are working together to create individual sound works under an overall theme that will culminate in the live performance this Friday, in which all the works are presented simultaneously as part of a larger piece utilizing the full capacity of Diapason’s special multi-channel sound systems. Starting from thinking about the differences between places and spaces participants are working on digital color space, text as a place, the narrow border between stable and unstable conditions, re-spatialization, speech synthesis, and on transient extraction as a form of de-/re-contextualizing.*

VCW Performance
Chris Burke, Courtney Brown, Brian Edgerton, Adam Kendall, Matthias Neumann, Joe Tekippe

The VCW Performance is a show of live video pieces created as part of the Video Composition Workshop.

The Video Composition Workshop is dedicated to writing performative video pieces. It explores how artists approach their compositions and how they notate the scores from which the videoists perform.

This show presents completed compositions and works-in-progress of four videoists and musicians resulting from this summer's six-week workshop. The video pieces incorporate human breath control, Xbox, language as controller, and physical architecture. The evening will end with the VCW composers discussing their printed scores and compositional approaches.

Compositions by:

Courtney Brown (with performers Gennette Gill, Jacqueline Arias)
Chris Burke (with collaborator Tamara Yadao)
Brian Edgerton (with performers Glenda Reed, Jason Orrell)
Matthias Neumann (with performers Adi Shniderman, Jeffrey Potterfield,
George Tsontakis)

« 07062010 » a multichannel diffusion by Valerio Tricoli, Gilles Aubry and Antoine Chessex

These three experienced european sound artists and composers will present a unique piece of experimental music specifically created for the Diapason Gallery.
Using the multichannel sound specificity of the Gallery, the piece will consist of a  an hour-long diffusion of dreamy soundscapes interacting with the architecture of the space.
Fragments of Chessex’s recent compositional works for ensembles will be transformed by Tricoli’s unique approach to electronic textural works and Aubry’s poetic artistry towards field recordings.
The piece will evoke an immersive and psychoacoustic path into abstraction, defining the meeting point between the different approaches of these three sound artists and offering to the audience a mysterious journey between the narrative, immersive and phonographic dimensions of the auditory perceptions.

“All that was once directly lived has become mere representation,” G.D.
